Top-notch quality and an amazing experience - The views were picturesque. Full of history and mesmerising views. The narration was more than excellent, every detail made sense because of the guide. He was like a teacher but friendlier and without the boring details. Loved every minute. It was scorching hot but most of the time we were focused on the guide and the details he shared with us. Alpi, you made a his experience amazing and you contributed to the bonding among each other!

Excellent tour - The guide - Alpie - was the BEST. He was so knowledgeable. He was so attentive to all the guests needs during the day. Very cheerful. He was also aware of the timing of the crowds from cruise ships and we saw most of Ephesus with very few other people there.

Ephesus - The guide, Alpe was very nice and committed, gave more like a history lesson on the tour than actually a turistic view. Love it!
